Anne Spalter, Wonder Why, 2017
Despite many advances, it is still only in the world of the future that share equal rights with men. Anne has been working with airplane imagery for decades as a symbol of freedom and escape – and, more specifically, with Wonder Woman’s Invisible Plane. Here, a ray-traced glass plane reflects the videos uploaded as environment maps in a 3D world, creating a realistic effect of flying through the video “space,” and reflecting Anne’s long-term preoccupation with traffic, modern landscapes, air, and space.
Presented by Spring/Break.
